HJ
Hungry Jack’s® is a franchise of the international Burger King™ Corporation and has operated in Australia since 1971. The first restaurant in the Perth suburb of Innaloo opened on the 18th April 1971. The initial success of the business led to a rapid expansion with the first South Australian restaurant on Anzac Highway Everard Park opening in November 1972, followed by Kedron in Queensland in April 1974.

BK
You try doing a google search for BK and it brings back HJ's! Very confusing

.... now I really must be off.. gotta get a life

"Hungry Jack's
When Burger King decided to expand their operations into Australia, they found that their business name was already trademarked by a man running a small takeaway food shop. Resultingly, the first Australian franchise of the Burger King Corporation, established in Perth in 1971, was aptly titled Hungry Jack's, echoing the name and sentiment of the franchisee, Jack Cowin. Hungry Jack's sells the usual range of burgers, but also an Australian specialty, the Aussie Burger. This burger is based on the traditional Australian fish and chips shop favourite, including fried egg, bacon, onion and beetroot with the traditional meat, lettuce and tomato.
When the existing Australian trademark for Burger King lapsed, the American parent company wanted Cowin to change the Hungry Jack's outlets to the Burger King name. Cowin resisted the change, preferring to keep the Hungry Jack's name. The disagreement ended in a court case. In 2001, Hungry Jack's won the court case, and Burger King was ordered to pay $75 million to Hungry Jack's for breach of its franchise agreement.
Burger King opened several outlets in Australia under the Burger King name. In some cases Burger King outlets were located very close to existing Hungry Jack's outlets. Cowin has begun negotiations with Burger King to buy up these outlets and rename them to Hungry Jack's"

i definately saw both HJ and BK in sydney, and i'm fairly sure i did in melbourne also. definately only HJ in brisbane.
funnily enough, when in sydney, i thought the 'bacon double cheeseburger' from burger king tasted better than the 'bacon deluxe' from hungry jack's - and it's the same burger, apparently.....
